3 RISK ASSESSMENT Evaluate the risks associated with the task, consider the hierarchy of control and score the consequence and the likelihood appropriately. C = Consequence L = Likelihood Hierarchy of control 5 = Catastrophic. Death, disablement, significant incident, unacceptable risk, significant financial cost. 4 = Major. Extensive injuries leading to lost time, major risk-damage to plant and equipment, major financial cost for repairs / reinstatement. 3 = Moderate. Medical treatment, medium risk-damage to plant and equipment, medium financial cost for repairs / reinstatement. 2 = Minor. First Aid treatment, minor risk-damage to plant and equipment, minor financial cost for repairs / reinstatement. 1 = Insignificant: No injuries, slight damage, low financial cost for repairs / reinstatement. 5 = Almost Certain. Could occur in most circumstances. 4 = Likely. May probably occur in most circumstances. 3 = Possible. May occur at some time. 2 = Unlikely. Could occur at some time. 1 = Rare. May occur only in exceptional circumstances. 1 = Elimination. Modify the process method or material to eliminate the hazard completely. 2 = Substitution. Replace the material, substance or process with a less hazardous one. 3 = Separate. Isolate the hazard from the person by safeguarding or by space or time. 4 = Redesign / Engineering Controls. Redesign or modify the plant or process to reduce or eliminate the risk 5 = Administration. Adjust the exposure time or conditions or process by training, procedure, signs etc. 6 = PPE. Use appropriately designed and properly fitted equipment where other controls are not practicable or are accepted. Consequences Likelihood 5 = Catastrophic 4 = Major 3 = Moderate 2 = Minor 1 = Insignificant 5 = Almost Certain = Likely = Possible = Unlikely = Rare Page 3

4 Hierarchy of Control. Highest Level of Control Lowest Level of Control Elimination Substitution Engineering Administration Personal Protective Equipment Crane, operator, dogman or rigger come to site to carry out various lifts. Uncertified/trained operators Crane operator must be certified for that particular crane. The Dogger s & Riggers to be certified for the required task. The crane operator, rigger & dogman must have had refresher training within a three year period Crane Crew The crane has no operating instructions or not maintained The crane must have an operators manual The crane must be maintained to a schedule set out at by the manufacture There must be a documented record detailing what was carried out at the previous scheduled service period There must be a sticker or similar stating when and what type is the next service.

6 Crane Set Up Position Contact with pedestrians or vehicles on public roads or footpaths Traffic management not restricted to lane and or footpath closures with the placement of barricades and signage to comply with Main Roads Traffic management regulations Client Licensed Traffic Control and Local Government permits may be required. Crane Crew Crane sets up to carry out lift. Ground surface uneven for crane to travel with load (lift and carry type cranes) If a Franna or crawler type crane is used the travel area is to be leveled if requested Crane Crew Crane not set up level, unknown ground conditions Cranes may require a compacted pad or other foundation treatment to be constructed to carry weight Crane Crew. A Geotechnical report on ground stability, capacity and compaction can be obtained if deemed necessary; this may be required for a major or critical lifts. Persons/vehicles endanger by the crane operation Place barricading-signage around the crane taking particular attention to pinch areas when the crane is slewing Crane Crew. Crane sets up to carry out lift continued. Poor ground conditions Suitable and correctly stacked hard wood timbers or steel plates are to be used to block up the crane outriggers due to the possible ground slope or condition Crane Crew.

Slings in poor condition Round or Fabric slings are to be in good condition, have no tearing in the covering and have a SWL tag. An inspection is to be carried out every three months and records kept Crane Crew Lifting equipment comes off the hook If several items of lifting equipment are placed on the hook check that the lifting equipment will not slide up off the hook, a shackle of suitable capacity may need to be used between the crane hook and the lifting equipment Crane Crew Lifting in close proximity of powerlines. Crane jib contacts power wires Maintain a safe distance of 3m from power wires up to 132kVa and a trained spotter when within 6.4m. For wires above 133kV.keep 6m from these wires and a trained spotter is required when within 10m, if within the spotter range the power authority must be notified and a permit issued. When required barricade a safety zone for overhead wires and place signage to suit particular areas. Use tiger tails as delineration if required Crane Crew Client Client Page 8
